Set against the snowy Lake District on Christmas Eve 1799, this beautifully illustrated poem by Carol Ann Duffy captures Dorothy Wordsworth’s anticipation of a joyful celebration the next day, when family and friends gather to mark her birthday. Through evocative imagery, it depicts the peaceful winter landscape and the special moment preceding a festive gathering at the Wordsworth cottage with notable poets William Wordsworth and Samuel Taylor Coleridge.
